Error when a customer goes to the website

Hi Robert,

As Jerry suggests, this looks like something to do with your PHP version - PHP has likely been upgraded on your server, and some older code is causing an error. It appears to be coming from a custom file or library outside of CMSB so simply upgrading the CMS is unlikely to fix it, however, if you're able to post a snippet of the code I can try to help correct it.

The error is coming from line 8 of /includes/php/funclib.php - can you copy at least that line, as well as ~5 lines above and below it and paste that here?

Thanks,

<?php
// ********** TEXT-LIMITING FUNCTION ***********
// (to display only a portion of each blog post's content)
// For use on all Blog list pages
function cutText($string, $setlength) {
$length = $setlength;
if($length<strlen($string)){
while (($string{$length} != " ") AND ($length > 0)) {
$length--;
}
if ($length == 0) return substr($string, 0, $setlength);
else return substr($string, 0, $length);
}else return $string;
}
// ********** Check if sidebar defined function **********
function sidebar_defined($groupNum) {
list($sidebar_grecss, $sidebar_gMetaData) = getRecords(array(

'loadUploads' => false,
'allowSearch' => false,
));
if($sidebar_grecss)
{return 1;}
else
{return 0;}
}
// ********* extracts the YouTube video 10 character code from URL! *******

}

$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
} else {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
return $pageURL;
}

Hi Robert,

I believe if you change this line:

while (($string{$length} != " ") AND ($length > 0)) {

To this:

while (($string[$length] != " ") AND ($length > 0)) {

It should get rid of the error.

Can you try that out and let me know if it works?

Thanks!

Thank You It works
